5 GOES-R Series Status GOES-R GOES-R series being developed to replace GOES- N series. First launch is no earlier than 2012 Significant improvement in technology over GOES-I and GOES-N series New acquisition relationship builds on longstanding partnership between NOAA and NASA Improvements over current capabilities Imager –5X improvement in geographic coverage rate –30 second repeats for severe weather threats –4X improvement in horizontal resolution –3X increase in channels Sounder –5X improvement in geographic coverage rate –4 minute repeats for severe weather threats –3X improvements in vertical resolution Lightning detection –Continuous coverage of total lightning flash rate over land and water Coastal Water Monitoring –0.375 km true color vs 1 km monochrome –Transition of ocean color research satellite capability to operational platform –First ever geostationary sampling of ocean color allows coastal resource management GOES-R Contractors: System Program Definition and Risk Reduction (PDRR): Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Northrop-Grumman System Acquisition Contract: to be competitively awarded in August 2007 Instruments: ITT, BAE, Ball Aerospace, Lockheed Martin Advanced Technology Center
